Ford is considering building a diesel Expedition to compete with the hybrid versions of the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon , according to Automotive News. A Ford spokesman admitted both hybrids and diesels are under development, but would not say which models would get the green treatment. However, an anonymous source told the trade publication that a large diesel SUV — possibly the Expedition — would be positioned against GM’s hybrid full-size trucks. Such a vehicle wouldn’t be ready until around 2010, the report said. GM plans to have its hybrid trucks ready for late 2007, and Chrysler will have its green Dodge Durango ready some time in 2008.
